Brainspotting Intensives
Brainspotting is a brain-body approach that helps access and process experiences that are often outside of conscious awareness. Instead of trying to think through the problem, we use specific points in your visual field to access where those experiences are held.
From there, your system can begin to:
Process what’s been stuck
Release stored emotional and physical tension
Integrate the experience in a new way
This is why brainspotting is often helpful when talking about it is not enough, analyzing it has not created change, and something still feels unresolved beneath the surface.
Why an intensive format works so well
Most Brainspotting sessions are powerful—but limited by time.
You begin to access something…
then the session ends…
and your system has to pause mid-process.
With an intensive, we remove that interruption.
We create a focused space where your nervous system can fully engage, process, and integrate—without rushing or stopping early .
This allows for:
Deeper access to what’s underneath
More complete processing
Stronger, more lasting shifts
What the process looks like
Each intensive is structured, but flexible—because your system leads the process.
Preparation + Targeting
We clarify:
What you want to work on (if known)
Or what you’re noticing in your system
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
The Intensive
Session
This is where the deeper work happens.
We use Brainspotting to:
Access specific activation points located in your body
Stay with the process as it unfolds through deep meditation, quietness, or with biolateral sound
Allow your system to move through what’s keep you stuck
This often happens with less talking—and more awareness of what’s happening internally.
Integration + Stabilization
After the session, we:
Ground and stabilize your system
Make sense of what shifted (if needed)
Map what comes next
Because the goal isn’t just release—it’s integration that carries into your life.
Who this is for
This is for you if:
You feel stuck (or paralyzed with fear, anxiety, or worry) even though you understand your patterns
You’ve hit a plateau in therapy
You want to access deeper layers of healing
You’re open to a process that goes beyond thinking
This may not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for a purely structured or directive approach (Consider EMDR intensives for this)
You’re not ready to experience deeper emotional or physical responses either due to time or emotional capacity
You need more stabilization before doing deeper work (We can discuss options to get you ready)
What you can expect
People often experience a release of emotional or physical tension, reduced intensity around triggers, a greater sense of internal calm, and shifts that feel deeper even if they are hard to explain.
Sometimes the change is not immediate. It unfolds over time as your system processes and settles what was worked through.
How this fits into your recovery
This isn’t about doing more work.
It’s about accessing the layer that hasn’t been reached yet.
Brainspotting intensives are most helpful when:
You feel stuck despite understanding your patterns
You’ve done therapy, but something still isn’t shifting
Your reactions feel automatic or disconnected from logic
You sense there’s something deeper—but can’t quite reach it
This is about resolving what’s driving the loop from underneath.
What we focus on
In a Brainspotting intensive, we don’t force a specific narrative.
Instead, we work with:
Felt sensations in the body
Emotional patterns that arise without clear explanation
Experiences that are difficult to put into words
Deep-rooted responses that feel automatic
This process is less about figuring it out—and more about allowing your system to process what it’s been holding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people choose Brainspotting Intensives, and are they worth the investment?
Many clients choose an intensive because it provides uninterrupted time to focus on healing without the stop-and-start nature of weekly sessions. This format often allows for deeper processing, greater momentum, and meaningful progress in a shorter period of time. While every person's experience is different, many find the concentrated approach to be a valuable investment in their healing. Brainspotting intensives also do not require extensive preparation with a more free flowing style than EMDR intensives.
Can I participate in a Brainspotting Intensive if I already have a therapist?
Yes. Many clients continue working with their current therapist while completing a Brainspotting Intensive. With your written permission, we can coordinate with your therapist to help ensure continuity of care.
How do I prepare for a Brainspotting Intensive?
Before your intensive, you'll complete intake paperwork and a consultation. We recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and keeping your schedule light before and after your intensive so you have time to process and recover. You’ll receive a workbook and wellness giftbag to help you enhance your experience.
Do you offer Brainspotting Intensives virtually, in person, or both?
Yes. Brainspotting Intensives are available both virtually and in person, depending on your location, clinical needs, and my availability. During your consultation, I'll help you determine which format is the best fit for you.
What are the payment options, and do you offer payment plans or sliding-scale rates?
Payment is due prior to your intensive unless other arrangements have been made. Payment plans may be available for qualifying programs. At this time, no sliding scale rates are available. Please contact us to discuss available options.
Is this covered by insurance?
No. Brainspotting Intensives are private-pay services and are not billed directly through insurance. If applicable, you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy for Brainspotting Intensives?
Because intensive appointments require significant scheduling and preparation, we ask for advance 2-weeks notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Specific cancellation and rescheduling policies will be reviewed during the booking process and included in your service agreement. Cancellations made within 2-weeks are non-refundable.
A different kind of depth
Brainspotting isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about accessing what hasn’t been accessible—
and allowing your system to do what it naturally knows how to do when given the space.
If you’ve been doing the work but still feel stuck,
this may be the layer that hasn’t been reached yet.
